Captain Kaiqc Talks ok Lewis River. Captain Charles T. Kammwho may be considered the pioneer explorer and navigator of. Iiewls River, and who a few days ago reached Bhlrt-Tall Canyon, 23 miles up the north fork, with one of his steamers, which stretch of the stream Is navigable at an ordinary stage of water, takes exception to a statement recently published that "Lewis River is navigable to La Center." He says La Center is on the east fork, which Is really nothing but a slough, but is navigable to a point three or four miles above La Center. The north fork runs through a fine, well-settled coun try. It Is navigable for 23 miles, and in high water for three miles further to Etna, -r hence parties start out for Mount St. Helens, which is only 14 miles from that place. Boats running up this fork take on stores for farmers and supplies and machinery for logging camps, and bring out potatoes, poultry, etc Captain Kamm says that there is a large body of -very. line timber on the headwaters of the north fork along the foothills of the Cascades. Logging camps are established there, and engines and other machinery is constantly being sent in. The scenery along the stream about Shirt-Tail Canyon Is very romantic and beautiful. Rubbish Chusadb Successful. The po lice are gradually breaking in the porters and other employes In stores and business houses to obey the law in regard to sweep ing paper, rubbish, etc, into the gutters; and there is a visible Improvement in the matter of cleanliness of streets percepti ble already. It looks a little queer to see a man sleeping up the litter on the side walk Into a long-handled dustpan and put ting it into a proper receptacle instead of sweeping It Into the gutter to be washed or blown according to the weather Into the street. It is all right, however, and If every one would attend to this little mat ter the streets could be kept in good order. It Is the intention of the city au thorities that this matter shall be attend ed to, and as the police show evidence of looking after people 'who folate the law In this respect, it is bound to be attended to, to the benefit and satisfaction of all concerned. Change op Economic League Lecture. The lecture of the Economic League to morrow evening was to haie been given by Professor F. G-. Young, of the State University. He is unfortunately prevented from filling his engagement by serious illness, being at this time an Inmate of the Good Samaritan Hospital. The com mittee is under great obligations to Pro fessor Schafer, of the department of his tory and economics in the same univer sity, for consenting on short notice to take Professor Young's place Tuesday evening, bringing a lecture upon the great English' reformer and scholar, Thomas Carlyle. The lecture will bring out Car lyle's characteristics as a historian, the subject incidentally calling for compari son with later methods of history in the light of more recent conceptions of the social organism and of later economic theory. City Treasury Stands Inroads. City Treasurer Werlein says that the city treasury stood in fine condition at the end of the old year, as compared with the previous year, having more money in all the funds, except possibly the general fund, which has had some heavy drains on it. There was about J17S.O00 altogether in the various funds, but $72,600 was paid out January 2 for water-bondklnterest cou pons. A large part of the money in the street and sewer fund is liable to call at any moment. However, there was enough on hand on January 1 to pay all salaries and all claims against the city up to that date, which is very satisfactory in a municipal treasury. The total foot ings of the money handled by Treasuretr Werlein during the last quarter of the year aggregated over $500,000. Great Demand for New Sewers. The rapid extension of the city during the past year has caused a great demand for sew ers. Several large and costly main sew ers for extensive districts have been built In the Beech-street and Cook-avenue dis tricts and the East Oak-street dis trict. Another large main sewer is in course of construction to serve the Second-avenue district. Many laterals to con nect with these sewers are either com pleted or in course of construction and applications for a score more are under consideration or have been granted. Con tracts for such sewers are being let at every .meeting; rf0f the sewer committee. .. 7 c m0Te are constantly being presented to the Council. MPnTS Bfu?

How One Firm Celebrates Christmas. A young man employed in a prominent financial concern was yesterday display ing proudly to a friend employed In a similar concern a fine new suit of clothes, hat, footwear and all, which he said he had purchased with a part of the regular $100 Christmas present which all the clerks which work where he does receive yearly. The friend looked just a little bit envious as he remarked: "We used to get the same present every Christmas, but when hard times struck the town the present was dropped, and, although prosperity has returned and business Is better than ever before, no one has remembered to renew It." The old saying In regard to "benefits forgot" has no application in a case like this, for the men all remember the bene fits they received, and are sorry the cus tom has been forgotten. Small Dredge Does Good Work. The little dredge, with an endless chain of buckets on one side for dredging up sand and gravel, which was built by the Star Sand Company some 12 years ago, was looked upon as a sort of curiosity. It has, however, proved a very efficient machine, having, among other things, dug the pits for the subfoundations of all the bridges THREE fi v jBbbjk .-L.iX- ff i 4sBK Msw9?SnV issbsbPSHbsbbbbL ii.;'L "J-.- .BSBsMLWy 1 "L jassflBssY ? v. 3 vrj99Wr WsJSE&S savSEBvaUMasavava aaaaaw?!r aaPawsPSn vai,?' t-.t laaaaaav' " " "trftoK yWaPra aaasi sismmZssM aaaaSBMf I JaBsaaaV 2 "flaaaaniBSflBa'HisaiE-itaavV x39j6!llB5aK?3BHaaaaaa avaaaNBMHbpaf KRferxsnsaMBk ? sv BaB&aaaf' -t' ?& aaaaaaenSKaavSaaanKEHaaaaaaaVSaaal f' JMsBaavaaifwSffillislaaaOt- W- assamaC jflE&a W aaESsHaaaaVaaaaaaflaaaaaafl iamawiaaCVBaPaaaVz. fc aaaaiwaR5SL '&'' I aaaaaaSjaaaSaaaauBE99saaaai BaaaKflfXaaaOfissRt sKaaaaaKZF&tsflEaa8Baawi a jflsEL ' Saaaasaa?

Memories of the old rock-pile, when the hobos helped to beautify City Park, cluster around Police Sergeant Church, Jim Hill and Joe Gogglns, reading from the right of the picture. These three worthies used to meet regularly in the old days, and -nhen Church saw them at the new rock-pile on the first morning of Its operation, at First and Flanders streets, he said: "Hullo, fellows; this looks like old times." Gogglns growled and cald: "Th polls done me a shabby thrlck. 01 ha shwept th' polls house fer a long tolme, an' now becas Ol git out in a few da-as, Ol am put to wur-rk smaehln' rocks." "Irlry tolme a polls saw me oglln' a saloon, he arr-rlsted me." said Jim Hill. A rumor got around the rock-pile gang that Jim Hill Is really the Hill who Is at the head of the Northern Pacific Railroad In dlssulee. An Oregonlan man asked Hill, the rock-crusher, about this rumor, and the prisoner replied, with irony: "Ol hev nothln' to say for publlcashun. See me frlen' Jay Pierpoa Morgan." Hill is making a splendid rock-crusher, and he works his hammer with the regularity of a machine, thinking every rock ha strikes is a policeman. across the river, and burled the trenches of the two pipe lines which bring Bull Run water to the West Side. Two dredges of a similar character have been bujlt here, and have proved very satisfactory for the work for which they were intend ed. The Star Sand Company Is building another and a larger one at a cost of $15, 000. Such dredges might be used In deep ening the harbor or the channel In front of wharves, and so leave the city dredge to attend to the rivers. Hard to Get Lighthouse Rowboats Built. Captain Langfltt, United States Engineers, who is having several substan tial rowboats built for use at different lighthouses in this district, has had con siderable difficulty in finding any one to undertake the job, and after all has had to dhide the -work between two parties. Boatbullders here generally devoted them relves to the construction of yawls, skiffs and other pleasure-boats, and the Astoria boatbullders devote themselves to fishing- boats, and so no one was anxious to take a job to build the kind of boats needed for the lighthouse service, TvhSch must not be too heavy, but still stanch and capable of weathering an ordinary storm. New Houses Are Going Up. Thomas Gulnean has let a contract for the build ing of two double houses, or practically four houses, of eight rooms each, at the corner of Tenth and Harrison streets. The plans have been prepared by F. Man 5on White, and Include all modern im provements in the way of cement base ments, porcelain bathtubs and everything on the same scale. Ralph Hoyt Is also lmrnnrlmr tn Vinilfl n rnthor nlr linmo rtt t tho rni-nor nf 5f OloJr on XToIn eft-oof. . to cost In the neighborhood of 510,000. He Is planning some special features in the building, and as soon as these are decided upon work will be commenced. Death or Mrs. Co3tei.tjo. The funeral of Mrs. Thomas Costello, who died at Good Samaritan Hospital on January 2, at the age of 29 years, of splenic anaemia, occurred yesterday at 1:30 P. M. from Hol man's undertaking parlors.

Ogllbee, of the committee on loca tion, reported that progress had "been made toward securing the ground in Lone GRACES AT THE CITY ROCK-PILE. Fir cemetery. It Is desired that a deed, to the ground on which the monument will stand should be made to the City of Portland, so that it will be for all times cared for, after the committee appointed to put it up shall have finished Its work and dissolved. George B. Hartmus also spoke to the effect that there would be no difficulty along thjs line, and that he had no doubt but that the deed to the site would be given at the proper time The monument will be erected In the center of Lone Fir cemetery on the public block. There was a general discussion as to the right time for the general canvassing committee to begin its work. It was decided that an active canvass should commence on the first of February next. By .that time all the other matters that have engaged the attention of the public will be out of the way and the field left reasonably clear for the monument enter prise. The city will be districted so that those on the canvassing committee will work effectively and harmoniously, with out interfering with each other. The full canvassing committee is as follows as appointed: E. M. Sarjtent M. L. Pratt C. J. Ward Q. B. Hartmus H. L. Wells A C. Edmunds J. H. McMillen T. A Wood L McGonen J. A. Uraden Chaplain Borden M. Blnfel William North F. A. Coleman Tlr Woodward H. SutclICe Colonel M. Weldler J. S. Foss Captain J. A Sladen Judge H. II. Northup T. B. McBwltt Peter Newberg J. W. Ogllbee Edward Martin C E. Cllne G. E. Cauklns Jacob Deckcnbach J. H. Williams GCOrge Williams It was decided, after full discussion, that It would be a proper thing to ap point a general building committee, whoso functions It wpuld be to have charge of offers of plans that may be submitted, and all other matters pertaining to the erection of the monument. On motion it was de cided to name a committee of three, with Chairman M. L. Pratt, of the general committee, as chairman. The other two members will be appointed at the next meeting. It Is expected that other plans, others than the one prepared and sub mitted by D. D. Noer, would be offered. Of these this special building committee will have charge. Later, after the se lection of the plans has been made defi nitely, a supervising architect will be appointed. Secretary Ogllbee reported that he had received from Sumner Women's Relief Corps $109 5S for the monument fund, which money was ordered deposited in the name of the association. The amount was regarded as a handsome donation from the corps and is the first that has been received.' It is expected that sub stantial aid will be received from the corps of the city. Also the secretary re ported that $10 had been received from the sale of a picture donated by W. E. Hayden for the monument fund. This makes the total received upwards of $240. The association then adjourned to meet again Sunday, January 26, 1902, at 64 Grand avenue. At that meeting the dis tricting of the city will be undertaken, and all the preliminary work before the opening of the canvass will be finished. G. A. R, INSTALLATIONS.

"This Saves Lots ot Bother lf tlac Wrong Man Finds R- Girl Stand ing; Under the Mistletoe." The editorial rooms were quiet, as Is usu ally the case Sunday afternoons, when the people who make the news during the week are enjoying family dinners and for getting the cares of the workaday world. Copy was slow In coming, because there .was nothing to make copy out of. The .po lice reporter was finishing a thrilling recital of a pretty piece of de tective work he once accomplished while running down clews In a big murder case, and the sporting editor was coughing to get his oIce with the Intention of "butting in" and skinning the police man's yard a block, when there was an interruption. "Ting-a-ling-a-Ung!" went the "phone, "B-r-r-r-r!" went the receiver when the instrument was taken down. Evidently the caller had impressed central with the Idea that the need was urgent. "Big police story, I'll bet!" growled the reporter who covered that particular beat, for he had another yarn to match with the sporting editor, and didn't want to lose the chance. "Think nothing ever turns up but mur ders," sneered the man who wrote upper cuts and Jabs. "Probably some one wints to know how many eggs it would take end to end to girdle the globe." "Hello!" said the man at the 'phone. "Is the editor in?" inquired tho possessor of a soft feminine voice. In which could be discerned the slightest trace of anger or annoyance. "Not at present; this is one of tho re porters. Can I 7" "Well, do you write things for the paper?'' "Occasionally. You see, that's what I'm " "Is It? I'm awful glad, for I want you to tell that old fogy " "Beg pardon tell who?" "Old fogy, you know- He had an article In the paper this morning saying it wasn't nice for girls to play basket-ball. He said a lot of mean things that aren't true." "And " suggested the reporter. "I want you to tell him that just because we girls want to play basket-ball he needn't say we want to be prizefighters. And even lf we did want to box, wo wouldn't be the horrid kind that call each other names In the paper." "About basket-ball?" Inquired the re porter, with a hope of keeping the thread of the conversation intact, "Oh. he says It coarsens us, and we are not so nice as our mothers were when they were girls. The boys don't think that. And mamma doesn't object to our playing, so what's It to him? I'll wnger a box of candy that he's bald-headed and growls like a bear, and hates children. Probably he knew our mothers better than he does U3, and there wouldn't anybody marry him because he was an old fogy, and he's a bachelor and has grown up sour and mean and hateful. "He needn't think Just because we play basket-ball that we don't dance as grace fully as did our mothers. We don't have to swear because we wear sweaters and gymnasium shoes, do we? You see. when mamma was a girl there was lots of things she couldn't do because other girls didn't. Dut now basket-ball is played In all of tho colleges back East, and the men there haven't protested that the girls are not nice." "Of course not," agreed the reporter. "If you will give us your name, we will print what you have said." "Dear, no! I wouldn't have my name In the paper for anything! It Isn't proper " "And basket-ball is?" asked the reporter. "You knbw, I said we weren't the kind that wanted our names in the paper," de clared the girl. "You needn't print my name. You say it for yourself, because It's all true. And I tell you, It makes us girls lots strong er and healthier. Sometimes It's nice to have muscle. It saves a girl lots of both er, like last Christmas, when a-a-a well, a girl I know was under the mistletoe and a man came along and tried to kiss her. She didn't want to bo kissed, and because she had played basket-ball and was a little bit strong she made him stop." "What was she doing under the mistle toe, lf she didn't want to be kissed?" "Well, perhaps she didn't know she was under It, or " "Perhaps," Interrupted the reporter. "Well, perhaps she thought some one else was coming.
