AFTER RIVER SANDBARS
SOLIAVOOD SUB-BOARD OP TRADE
WANTS THEM REMOVED.
Congressional Delegation. Is Aaked
to Have Obittrnctiona Dredged
Out of the River.
The Sellwood Sub-Board of Trade
started a movement some time ago by
which it seeks to have the Government
remove the sandbars In the Willamette
River between Portland and Mllwaukle.
The board addressed a communication, or
petition, to the Senators and Representa
tives of Oregon, which is as follows:
We, the undersigned, respectfully represent
that there exists one, perhaps two, sand bars
In the Willamette River, between Portland and
tho town of Mllwaukle, which arc a material
hindrance to the navigation of said river be
tween said points during tho seasons of low
water.
Wo are informed that these obstructions can
bo removed at a nominal cost, and since this
section of the river Is admirably adapted for
manufacturing enterprises, It will prove a great
advantage to Portland and this section of the
country to have these obstructions removed.
To this end re earnestly request that the
proper steps be taken to Include this section
of the Willamette River in the surveys of the
new work to bo ordered by the Government this
coming session of Congress.
The above petition has been indorsed
by the Sellwood, the Clinton Kelly and
Brooklyn Sub-Boards of Trade, and by
the East Side Improvement Association.
D. M. Donaugh, president of the Sellwood
Sub-Board of Trade, has made some In
vestigation as to the effects these sand
bars really have, and he says that the
steamboatanen are anxious to have them
removed. The cost, he says, will not be
great, and -the benefits considerable. Now
that the document has been signed, it will
be sent to the Congressional delegation
at once.
MORE LIGHTS WASTED.
Effort Ik Beinpr Mncle to Shift Three
to Enst Burnslde Street.
John P. Sharkey, George W. Staplcton,
Charles W. Wilson, D. H. Strowbridge
and W. H. Markell, committee on public
utilities of the East Side Improvement
Association, undertook to get electric
lights placed at the Intersections of Haw
thorne avenue with East Twelfth and
East Sixteenth, Ea6t Twentieth and East
Twenty-fourth streets with East Burn
side. The committee soon found that the
City Council had no money with which to
install more lights, no matter how much
they may be needed. On East Burnslde
street beyond East Sixteenth street, where
many new residences have been erected,
the people are anxious for electric lights.
The committee made some investiga
tions and concluded that some lights
might be moved from other localities
where they are not greatly needed. It
was found that on Union avenue, from
East Burnsidc houth to East Oak streets
there Is a light at each Intersecting street.
One or twoof these might be taken and
moved elsewhere. On the corners of East
Oak and East Tenth and East Eleventh
streets there are two lights, one of which
could be removed without depriving that
district of needed lights. If there is no
other way of providing lights for the resi
dents on East Burnslde street the commit
tee suggests that the City Council have
one or more of these lights changed to
East Burnslde street, where they will ac
commodate a much larger number of peo
ple than at present.
It is conceded that a good many elec
tric lights on the East Side might be shift
ed to advantage, but It would be a hard
thing to do this, owing to the opposi
tion such changes usually arouse.
NEW ?3000 CHURCH.
Mizpnh'M Trustee WJ11 Have Plans
Prepared at Once for Building.
The new Mlzpah Presbyterian Church
will be built on the site occupied by the
present building, on. Powell and East
Thirteenth streets. By an arrangement
with the owners of the Tibbetts tract,
which has just been platted, the trustees
will secure a lot 90x05. On the west side
of the present lot they lose 20 feet, which
strip is required for a street, but gain
SO feet in the rear. This will enable the
trustees to set the ne wstructure back
from Powell street. This arrangement
was made through J. "W. L.angdor, the
agent of the Walla Walla owners. The
trustees examined the plat of tho Tib
betts tract, and think that the streets
proposed are the best that could be ex
tended through the grounds under the
conditions.
The new edifice will cost 55000, and the
Eubscrlptions for the building fund are
so much advanced that the plans for the
building will now be drawn up. This could
not be done until the size of the site had
been settled.
Rev. Jerome R. McGlade, pastor, says
that the new church will be modern In
every respect. It is expected that the
architect who furnished the plans for
the Third Presbyterian Church will also
prepare those for Mizpah.
The old building will be disposed of In
some way. There was some talk of resi
dents forming a joint stock company
and making a public hall of the building,
but no definite steps have been taken.
VENERABLE GREEK STUDENT.
Rev. W. R. Bitthop, Nearly SO Yearn
Old, Begin the Study of Greek.
Nearly everybody knows the venerable
Rev. W. R. Bishop, who lives on East
Eleventh and Mill streets. Although well
up In the 70s, Mr. Bishop Is still young
In spirit and heart, and always ready for
a joke. Some time ago Mr. Bishop took
up the study of the Greek language. He
has made rapid progress in the grammar,
and can translate readily.
Mr. Bishop proposes to master Greek so
that he can read the classics In the orig
inal. There is no doubt that he will ac
complish his purpose, as he has shown
that he can dig out a Greek root with as
much enthusiasm as an ambitious col
legian, but It is certainly remarkable for
a man of Mr. Bishop's age to undertake
such a task.
FISH BONE IN HER THROAT.
Mm. N. Hall, of Fairvierr, Meets With
a Painful Accident.
Mrs. N. Hall, of Falrview, was brought
to Portland Wednesday to have a fish
bone removed from her throat which stuck
there Tuesday. While taking her dinner
the bone lodged securely In her throat,
and It could not be removed. A physician
was called from Gre&ham, but he was un
able to remove It. Mrs. Hall's condition
became serious, and she suffered much
distress. It was decided to bring her to
Portland, and physicians removed the
bone by means of surgical Instruments.
She returned home feeling well, and no
serious results will follow.

Mrs. Dalton's Condition.
There Is no improvement in the con
dition of Mrs. Dalton. wife of Rev. J. J.
Dalton, of the First Cumberland Presby
terian Church, and it is feared that she
may not recover. The case is that of pro
gressive paralysis. Mrs. Dalton has been
helpless for several months. There was
no sudden stroke of paralysis, but it has
come on gradually. Mrs. Dalton came
from the East with Dr. Dalton when he
was called to the First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, and enjoyed good
health until this attack.

TRIAL MAY BE SENSATIONAL
The Hlggins Arrested for Assault at
Missoula.
MISSOULA, Mont.. Dec. 20. Frank and
Arthur HIggins were this afternoon placed
under arrest on a charge of assault in
the econd degree upon the person ot
Edward Booth on the morning of De
cember 15. Immediately after the serving
of the papers both men appeared before
Justice Hutchens, who placed them under
5500 bonds to appear In court when sum
moned. The bonds were furnished. No
action will be faken in this complaint
until after Mr. Blockley's case has been
disposed of. Blockley caused their arrest
on a charge of assault In the third degree,
and the trial will be held Saturday.
Twenty-seven witnesses have been sub
penaed, many of whom are ladles, and It
is quite probable the trial will not be
I DEEDS OF PROWESS
BY THE FULTON
HOLD-UI ARTIST
It may not be worth $100 of
the county's money to discover
and apprehend the Fulton high
wayman, but there are many
people In that part of the county
who think that more active steps
ought to be taken. It is doubt
ful If the city and suburbs were
ever infested with a robber of
such boldness and unbroken dil
igence. A recapitulation of his
deeds and they include only
those that have been publicly
reported will doubtless be in

have noted the prowess of this
enterprising knight of the road:

SAD EMBARRASSMENT OF 3IR. SI3IP
KINS, OF CASTLE ROCK.
If He Cannot Live Happily on. Less
Than ?52 Per Month, He'll
Busk Out, That's AH.
CASTLE ROCK, Wash., Dec. 19. (To the
Editor.) I have been watching the col
umns of The Oregonlan and almost hold
my breath over what It costs two people
to live on. In Portland $52 10 seems to be
the amount it takes a couple to live on.
Now $2 per day for 26 -days Is just $52.
There are many who get less than $2 per
day. How do they manage to live? What
will a man do If laid off, as a great many
are, during the Winter season? What
will he do If sickness comes? If it costs
$52 per month for a man and his wife to
live, and he earns just that much, which
would be $2 per day, where is he going
to get shoes, stockings, and clothing?
These they must have, and sundry other
things. All seem to have figured on some
thing to eat and nothing to wear.
I was contemplating getting married my
self, provided, of course, I found Eome one
In the same notion, for I am sick and
tired of boarding-houses. Formerly It
cost me $1S per month for board and
lodging. My laundry cost about $2 50 to
$3 per month. My lodge dues are $3 2S.
For incidental expenses, such as
cigars, theaters, parties and so,
forth I allow about $10. So my total ex
penses are $33 to $35 as against a cost of
$52 for just the living. So that I am
more bewildered than ever.
Will some one kindly straighten this
problem out before Spring, for really 1
don't know how any one can get through
to the end of the year and buy clothing,
when he spends all his wages for living?
SY SIMPKINS.
(In a confidential note to the editor the
writer saya SImpkins is not his name,
but that his assertion that he is going to
get married In the Spring Is a melan
choly fact. He therefore trusts The Ore
gonlan will understand and appreciate his
reasons for desiring to keep his name
dark.)
MAY BE A CASE OF "HAVE TO."
Then Anybody Can Live on 352 per
Month.
PORTLAND, Dec 17. (To the Editor.)
The discussion anent cost of living has
greatly Interested myself and wife. 1
should like to say a few words In order
that "Mechanic" may see what anotner
worklngman lives on.
I have furnished rooms, and my expen
ses, as near as I can figure from my bills,
were as follows: Rent, $5; wood, $1; gro
ceries, $12; meat, $1 So; milk, $1 50; others,
$i 50; total, $22 S5. Groceries Include but
ter, eggs, vegetables and breakfast bacon.
As for things like theater and opera
tickets, balls, etc.. they are not neces
saries of life, so can hardly be included
In ll6t of living expenses.
I also take The Oregonlan, and other pa
pers and monthly magazines make about
$3 per month more; but then we don't eat
them.
As to whether we get enough good,
wholesome food to eat, I will say that 1
have gained over 10 pounds during the
last two months, and have been doing
hard work every day.
As to that $113 expenditure, no doubt If
every man earned his $2000 per year wc
would all use the best table butter to
cook with, and eat Toke Point oysters
three times a day.
As for "Astoria" in last Sunday's paper,
let me ask him or her to take a count of
all the worklngmen In Astoria, Portland,
or any and every place, and see what per
cent of men are earning $52 per month. 1
am satisfied that "Astoria" will find that
nearly 66 per cent do not earn that much,
month for month, and consequently their
wives have to live on $52 per month,
whether they can or not.
Let me ask any one who thinks I am
joking to just take a trip to any of the
sawmills in this city and ask the men at
work there how much they earn, and
their average monthly expenditure. 1
think they will find that It is just as 1
have said not if they can live on $52 per
month, but a case of have to. FACTS.
ONLY TROUBLE IS TO KNOW HOW.
This Man Hits a Good Appetite, and
Satisfies It.
PORTLAND, Dec. 16. (To the Editor.)
I notice In "Astoria's" letter of December
15 that he seems to think the discussion
as to the cost of keeping house for two
would not be complete without his taking
a hand. I am under the impression tiat,
with such a hand as he has exposed, he
would have done better to pass and stay
out of the game, as such remarks arc apt
to discourage a great many young couples
from being married on a small salary.
Living In this city, I have never paid
more than $4 50 per month for wood, and
I have a heater and a good kitchen range,
and my houe Is always warm and com
fortable. My wife does her own baking,
and I have never found It necessary to
don a rubber suit when splitting my wood.
Groceries. Our friend, the Astorian,
seems to be familiar with the cheap gro
ceries for such an apparent high liver.
My grocery bill. Including butter, fruits
and potatoes, is $15, and we have canned
goods with a slight depression In the ends
Instead of swells, and we have first-class
coffee and tea, and a good, pure syrup
on our flapjacks.
Meat Bill. Mine averages $5 30, and we
have roasts, atews and a nice chicken
occasionally, and have never found it
necessary to take advantage of our dog
meat privilege. Laundry may be higher
In Astoria than In Portland, for I find 1
can have one stiff shirt, one pair cuffs
and four collars done every week for $1
per month.
Washing. $3. My wife washes nothing
but her handkerchiefs.
Vegetables are cheap, and $1 50 will keep
a good variety on the table during the
month. Our fruit bill Is 52 50, and we
shall have our good old plum pudding and
would be pleased to give "Astoria" a
share If he will kindly give his address,
and he could pass Judgment on It and give
us the benefit of his criticisms.
The gentleman winds up with the asser
tion that no couple can live on such a
small income and be healthy. This Is
rather a sweeping assertion, and we ad
vise him to investigate just a little, say
In his own town, and he will probably
come to a different conclusion. I am a
working man, and work 10 hours every
day. I have a hearty appetite, and doc
tors' bills do not figure In my expenses.
They are:
Rent $12 OOWashlng $ 3 00
Water 1 50 Vegetables 1 50
Wood 4 500regonlan S3
Groceries 15 00
Meat 5 30
Laundry 1 00j Total $ Co
I have followed this discussion with In
terest, and hope It wjll not end with such
a wet blanket as Mr. Astoria's letter
seems to be.
A NATIVE OF PORTLAND.
WHAT IF ONE HAS BUT $50?
Then He Mnst Live Within His In
come or Borrow.
PORTLAND, Dec 17. (To the Editor.)
The letter on domestic economy printed In
Sunday's Oregonlan and signed "Astoria"
certainly ought to complete the discus
sion as to whether or not two persons
could live on $52 10 per month; yet 1
should like permission to join this free-for-all
race, to see who can talk the most
and say the least. If "Astoria" is a man,
then he Is excused for not knowing what
he is talking about. If "Astoria" Is a
woman, then she is not the wife of .a
laborer whose monthly salary averages
$40 monthly.
I should conclude, however, judging
from the size of "Astoria's" appetite and
from the fact that the lone highwayman
and his gun had no terrors, that "Astoria"
Is a man.
Shocking as It may be to tender sensi
bilities. I declare that not only is xt
possible for two persons to live on $50 per
month, but that It Is done in hundreds or
families right here In Portland. No man
whose salary reaches the $50 mark Is go
ing to spend every solitary cent fee makes
In monthly expenses. If he cannot get
a better Job, then he Is going to live with
in his Income and save money at It, too.
If he Is of the right sort and has a wire
who can help him. I will add, however,
for "Astoria's" benefit that It takes
brains to do It and ambition enough to us
them.
Portlanders do not die of pneumonia
from splitting wood without wearing a
rubber coat. They pay $4 25 per cord for
that same wood, too.
I believe "Astoria" Is wasting his lire,
as well as his Income, but If he prefers
to pay so high for the privilege df living
on salt air, mud flat and four dally tur
nips, I wish him joy.
As for ourselves, we expect to live In
Portland; live long and wax corpulent
eventually die of gout, and be burled; and
do It all on $52 10 a month.
PORTLAND.
THREE LIVE ON 830 S5.
Income Is $S5 and They Save Every
Month.
PORTLAND, Dec 18. (To the Editor.)
Since a correspondent from Astoria has
taken occasion to criticise the statement
made in the first article which appeared,
on the cost of living, I feel constrained to
give a little data from actual experience.
It is quite evident that most of the
writers who aired their views have had
very little experience in providing for
a household. It Is an easy matter to
find fault with other people's estimates,
but not so easy to give useful Informa
tion. Our married Hfo Is of only eight months
duration, but that is sufficient to dem
onstrate what Is the actual cost of liv
ing, and I submit a statement, as fol
lows: Rent, seven-room cottage $12 00
Groceries, Including meat, vegetables,
butter, eggs, fruit 12 00
Wood 2 50
Milk, one quart per day 2 00
Water rent 1 00
Oregonlan, average - 85
Laundry SO
Total $30 85
In the matter of wood, good dry fir,
known as "Inside wood," can be had at
$2 to $2 25 per load, and It requires very
little splitting. A load will last two
months In Summer and one In Winter,
so that $2 50 is ample allowance, and we
would not exceed that amount were It
ever so cheap. We have an abundance
of fruit and vegetables, and meat at
every meal, but buy everything In sea
son. There are three in the family, and
an abundance for all. It Is not neces
sary to keep within these bounds, as the
income is $S5 per month, but we need
nothing more expensive, nor do we want
It. If It seemed necessary we would
have It. but wc are unable to see what
benefit would be derived from a greater
outlay. One may pay a great deal for
style, but to secure an abundance for
one's actual needs requires only a mod
erate expenditure.
I think It will be found, on Investiga
tion, that many families live with as
small an outlay, and live well, while the
majority live on $50 and less, per month.

A HOUSE KEEPER.
YOUNG THUGS CONFESS.
Two Youths Admit They Robbed Leo
Bcuthmnn.
Two youthful highwaymen are in Umbo
at the city prison, and have confessed
that they were the ones who held up and
robbed Leo Beuthman, collector for the
Enterprise Meat Market, First and Mead
streets. Tuesday night. Young Beuthman
was attacked in the stable at Front and
Mead streets, where he went to feed the
horses. A gunny sack was thrown over
his head, his feet were bound with a
leather hitching strap, and his assailants
then went through his pockets, secur
ing $11 SO.
Detectives Ford and Cordano were de
tailed on the case, and Thursday night
arrested two 17-year-old boys, Harry
Amacher and Jack Burke, both of whom
reside in South Portland near the scene
of the hold-up. At first the boys told a
story that appeared flawless, and account
ed for every movement of their time
Tuesday. Rut when the evidence accumu
lated by the detectives was told them the
lads weakened and both confessed last
night. The robbery was planned several
days ago by the pair, and Amacher was
familiar with the fact that Beuthman
usually had the proceeds of the day's col
lections with him when he went to the
stable about 5 o'clock In the afternoon.
Amacher had formerly worked for the
firm and kriew the Interior of the stable,
but In order that their plans should not
miscarry the boys visited the place about
3 o'clock, two hours preceding the hold-up,
and mapped out the campaign. When
Beuthman came In the two youngsters
were In hiding. While the victim was
'pouring some feed Into a box for the
horses Amacher threw a gunny sack over
Beuthman's head; Burke tied his feet,
and then his pockets were rifled. In the
statements made to the Chief the responsi
bility for searching the collector's pockets
Is the only point upon which the pris
oners are at variance.
Burke says that Amacher did It, and
the latter maintains that both went after
the money. Leaving Beuthman helpless
on the floor and frightened because of the
threat that his assailants- would put a
bullet Into hhn if he resisted, the embryo
Dick Turpins went to Amacher's resi
dence, where the money was divided. That
night the two came down town and
squandered the proceeds of their crime In
riotous living. Amacher was placed In
charge of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society
some two years ago, because of a pro
pensity to run away from home, but so
far as Is known, nothing else can be said
to his discredit. Burke has never been
In trouble before, so far as the police
know.
The lads will be arraigned before Judge
Cameron today.
At the Noon Rest.
The Noon Rest, 107 Third street, is a
very busy place during holiday season.
For six years this Institution has pro
vided for the need and comfort of the
working women, also to the stranger,
and to all needing a helping hand. For
the sixth time the girls have this home
like place to go to between afternoon and
evening work, as well as at noonday dur
ing the holidays, and always, through
the entire year, Saturday evening finds
many here who have to work that even
ing. Many, whose income is limited, value
highly the privilege of taking their own
lunch Into the comfortable dining-room,
and a chance for a few minutes' rock or
time to read. The Rest is open all day
during the entire year. No week passes
that some girl is not helped to find some
thing to do.
PICKETS JOIN BOYCOrT
WAITERS INCREASE THEIR FORCES
AGAINST "UNFAIR" RESTAURANTS.
Hoot nt Customers ns They Enter or
Leave Police Able to Do
Nothing:.
In front of the Brunswick restaurant
yesterday a banner declaring the institu
tion unfair from the point of view of the
Walters Alliance was being carried back
and forth. The proprietors of the res
taurant hired a horse and express wagon
and kept them hitched in front of their
place all day. This caused the banner
man to be crowded pretty well out Into
the street, and made his job a much more
unpleasant one. The space between the
express wagon and passing street-cars
was rather limited.
Several "pickets" representing the Wait
ers' Alliance stood around and warned
people going In and out of the restaurant
against patronizing a nonunion house. One
man on his way In for a meal, when thus
accosted, became quite hostile, and
showed symptoms of throwing the picket
into the street. He claimed to have the
right of eating wherever he pleased and
would stand no dictation from any one.
Two policemen stood around near the
Brunswick, but no arrests were made.
At the Palace restaurant, on Morrison
street, the "unfair" banner was carried
In front all day. and half a dozen pickets
kept up a chorus against the place as
customers went In or came out. The po
liceman standing near did not interfere.
Mr. and Mrs. Hall, the aged proprietors
of the restaurant, are feeling very much
aggrieved over the fact that the authori
ties gU'e them no protection and make no
effort to prevent interference with their
business. Mr. Hall says that he has noth
ing against unionism, and thinks it a good
thing when properly handled and with
sensible men at the head. But he con
siders that the way he is being treated
now is an outrage, and he says he won
ders what business men pay taxes and
licenses and rents for If they are to re
ceive in return no public protection.
Mr. Hall says that he had called the
attention of the police to the fact that
the pickets were disturbing the peace in
front of his place of business, but that the
policeman would not arrest the disturbers.
Mr. Hall thinks that if such hoodlumism
should occur In Chinatown the patrol
wagon would be after the disturbers at
once. He says that he has plenty of help,
and pays good wages.
Only two restaurants are as yet being
thus boycotted. Others are expecting it
at any moment, and one Is prepared to
offset it Its proprietor says he has a
surprise In store for the banner-bearer
when ho appears In front of his place.
The police feel that under the decision
of Judge Sears dissolving the temporary
Injunction against the waiters they can do
nothing unless some overt, disorderly or
lawless act Is committed. Therefore they
have made no move against the men boy
cotting "unfair" restaurants beyond keep
ing the streets clear.

IT IS IMPORTANT.
To Know "What Yon Are Talcing?
"When Unlngr Cntnrrli Medicines.
Catarrh is the fihort route to consump
tion, and the importance of early and ju- '
dicious treatment of catarrh, whether lo
cated In the head, throat or bronchial
tubes, cannot be too strongly emphasized, j
The list of catarrh cures is as long as I
the moral law and the forms In which i
they are administered, numerous and con
fusing, from sprays, Inhalers, washes,
ointments, and salves to powders, liquids
and tablets. '
The tablet form Is undoubtedly the most
convenient and the most effective, but j
with nearly all advertised catarrh reme- I
dies It Is almost entirely a matter of !
guess work as to what you are taking '
Into your system, as the proprietors,
while making all sorts of claims as to
what their medicines will do, always keep
it a close secret as to what they are. I
The success and popularity of the new J
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, j
Is largely because It not only cures ca- i
tarrh. but because catarrh sufferers who
use these tablets know what they are tak
ing Into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are composed of red gum. blood
root and similar valuable and antiseptic
ingredients, and are pleasant to the taste
and being dissolved In the mouth they
take Immediate effect upon the mucous
lining of the throat, nasal passages and
whole respiratory tract. ,
The cures that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
have accomplished in old chronic cases
of catarrh are little short of remarkable,
and the advantage of knowing what you
are putting into your stomach Is of para-
mount Importance when it Is remembered
that the cocaine or morphine habit has
been frequently contracted as the result
of using secret catarrh remedies.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets meet with
cordial approval from physicians, because
their antiseptic character renders them
perfectly safe for the general public to
use and their composition mnkes them a
common sense cure of all forms of catar
rhal troubles.
All druggists sell them at 50 cents for
full-sized packages.
