An ordinance making It unlawful for any person to place in or upon any etreet, al'cy or public place, or upon any public walk or sidewalk, -within the city, any sign, signboard, billboard, poster or other advertising matter whatever, -was intro duced by Bronaugh, read and referred to the committee on streets. ' It -was stated that this ordinance "was not complete, but was intended merely to bring up the matter cf cleaning up the streets and sidewalks, and that it will be added to so as to include other nui sances, as advertising bicycle racks, etc. Penalty for the violation of this ordinance is provided by a fine of from $5 to $200. or "by Imprisonment for GO days. Councilman Merrill, who bas' expended several thou sand dollars on bicycle racks, stated that he was reafay and willing to clear them all off the streets, as advertising of this nature had ceased to be any good, and the racks would make a lot of wood. To Cancel Old Tax Liens. Councilman Bronaugh introduced an or dinance canceling all apparent Hens for taxes levied by the former municipalities of Portland, East Portland, Alblna and Sellwood. down to and Including those levied for the year 18S7, upon property upon which all city taxes have been paid or shall be paid for the years 1SSS to 1902, inclusive. Mr. Bronaugh said he had 5een contemplating the introduction of this ordinance for some time. It would need to be carefully Investigated before being acted upon, and he thought it ought to be referred to the committee on Ju diciary, and it was so referred. An ordinance regulating the plumbing, ventilating and drainage of buildings, and to provide for the registration of plumb ers, which bas been in the hands of a committee for some time, was taken up. Mr. Bronaugh said the health and police committee had spent a good deal of time on it. but had not arrived at any final decision on it yet. On his motion, it was referred back to the health and police committee. iMnrlcet Proposal Postponed. Th" committee on parks and public property, to whom was referred a com murlcntlon asking to have the old Pa vilion building set aside for market pur poses, reported, recommending that the further consideration of said matter be in definitely postponed, for the reason that it do-s not deem it advisable to make the expenditure of money at this time t-at wauld bo necessary to place the said building in proper condition for market purposes. The report was adopted. To 3Iove Against Street Railway. Sheriitt called attention to the fact that the Portland City & Oregon Railway Com piny. when it laid tracks on Mllwaukle. Tist- Eleventh and other streets, had agreed to place these streets in good or dn This had not been done, and, when hi called the attention of the manager cf the company to portions of its tracks which were away above the grade, he said he did not propose to make the right of way suitable for driving teams on, and refused to put the street in order. He asked that such action be taken as was necessary to compel the company to put Its right of way in good condition. Bro naugh said no action was necessary in the matter, and moved that the City 'At torney be Instructed to commence pro ceedings against the company to compel it to jmt its rights of way in proper con dition, which motion carried. Bronaugh stated that Corbett street, from Gibbs street south, which was torn up last Summer, by the City & Suburban Rallwaj- Company, had never been put in good order. The street had been improved by the property-owners at great expense, and was now being badly cut up. On mo tion. It was ordered that the City & Sub urban Railway- Company be directed to place Its right of way on Corbett street in good order. Petitions nntl Remonstrances. The remonstrance of J. Caston against the improvement of the so-called Main street, from the west line of King's Addi tion to King street, on the ground that some of the property proposed to be im proved is still in litigation, was referred to the Judiciary committee, A petition from Charles Nast. asking that the" Health Department be investi gated, was referred to the committee on health and police. Mr. Nast charges that he has tried to have the Health Depart ment notify Mrs. Fisch In regard to throwing dishwater and draining her sink Into hjs property, but the matter has re ceived no attention whatever. Petition for construct'on or a sewer in Belmont street was referred to the sewer committee. A remonstrance against the construction of a proposed sewer in East Couch street, on the ground that It Is not necessary, was referred to the sewer committee. Petitions for the improvement of streets as follows were granted: East Main, from East Twelfth to East Sixteenth. East Madison, from East Twelfth to East Sixteenth. East Seventeenth street, from Division to Powell. The City Engineer was directed to pre pare estimates for the Improvement of Hooker street, from Front to Water street.

WHO WANT TO BE COUNCILMEN T Present Incumbents, as a Rale, Do Not Aslc .for Re-Election. The office of unsalaried Councilman ap pears to be in danger ol going a-begging in most of the wards. Several .if the present Councilmen say they will not be candidates; several say they would not refuse nomination; two are understood to be making efforts to secure their re-election, and the remainder are, apparently, taking no interest In the matter, one way or the other. The present Councilmen will go out of office free from smirch or stain, so lar as is known, and will carry the reputation of having fulfilled their duties honestly, impartially and faithfully. Those who have never dlschorged the duty of Coun cilman have little idea of the amount of work they have to do and the time it is necessary to devote to it, and few care to go through so much to obtain so little. In the First Ward Mr. Nealond Is not a candidate for re-election, and he knows of no one who Is making any effort to secure the nomination. He has heard the name of Carl Johnson mentioned in con nection with the office, but did not know whether he was desirous of being a can didate or not. In the Second "Ward, Mr. Gllsan has made no sign of any intention of run ning again. When asked about the mat- GEORGE C. CLACKAMAS COUNTY REPUBLICANS, FOR THIRD CONSECUTIVE TIME, NOMINATE HIM FOR STATE SENATOR BY ACCLAMATION. U ter, he said he went into the office under a two-year contract. In the Third Ward. Mr. Merrill is the only person heard from so far who has expressed any desire to secure the nom ination for Councilman for that ward. He expresses a willingness to sacrifice him self again for the good of the city. It Is understood that Gus Roth and Harry Shoof would not refuse to accept "a nom ination in this ward. In the Fourth Ward there is nothing to indicate that any one is eager to be elect ed to the Council. Mr. Branch, when asked if he intended to run again, said no one had asked him to, but he did not say whether or not he would run if asked". In the Fifth Ward Mr. Mulkey is not a candidate for re-election. F. Byerly, drug gist, has been mentioned in connection with the office, but no one has been heard of as actually working to secure It- In the Sixth Ward It is understood that Mr. Masters would nut decline to be re elected, and B. D. SIgler will be a candi date. In the Seventh Ward a -petition Is being circulated by a number of independent Re l.ublicans urging Mr. Bronaugh to run again. This is receiving a large number of signatures. It is said that L. Zimmer man would like the office, or that his friends would like him to have it; but no one is making any particular effort to get it. In the Eighth Ward It is understood that Mr. Sherrltt Is desirous of being re elected, and his friends say he can have the office if he wants it. In the Ninth Ward Mr. Holbrook will not run again. He says he would not take the office at $300 per month. In the Tenth -Ward, Mr. Nealond, who bas filled out his father's term, would not refuse a nomination if asked to run. It is said that there are several persons in ,thls ward who would like to be elected, among them A. H. Wlllets, A. B. Manley and J. H Davis." In the Eleventh Ward Mr. Walker has not been making any effort to be re-elected, and has not heard of any one who Is anxious to secure the office. - ENGINEERS MAY COME. Delegate Lovejoy Will Try to Bring; Convention Here. W. G. Lovejoy, of Roseburg, who has been selected as a delegate to the bi ennial" convention of the -Grand Interna tional Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, was In .the city yesterday, and discusse'd the chances of having the next convention meet in Portland. Mr. Love joy will represent Division 476, Roseburg, L and intends to make every effort to have the next meeting of tne oromernooa taKc place in this city. It is possible that a delegate will also be snt from the di vision in this city, but If not it will be represented byMr. Lovejoy. , The convention this year meets in Nor folk, Va,, on May 7, and will last about 20 days. Representatives are sent from all branches of the brotherhood, which extends throughout the United States. Canada and Mexico, and has about 30,000 members. In case the convention could be brought to Portland in 1904, It would prove a great advertisement for the Lewis and Clark Centennial. The gathering would bring about 1000 people, composed of about 400 delegates, their wives and friends. These people coming from all over the territory of the brotherhood would do much to scat ter Information concerning Portland and the coming exposition. Wants the Indians FnmlKated. DES MOINES, la., March 26. Represen tative Walters, of Tama, appealed to Governor Cummins late this afternoon to send troops to the Tama Indian reserva tion 'to compel the Sac and Fox Indians to submit to fumigation and other regula tions cf the State Board of Health. Act ing upon the advice of counsel, the In dians have locked their blankets, tepees and other effects in a building, which they carefully guard. Mr. Walters says the Indians are In an ugly mood. Meat Prices Atvay Up. NEW YORK. March 26. Prices of fresh meats are rising rapidly here, and al though the retailers have not advanced their prices as the wholesale dealers have, they will do so within the next few days. Every Spring the price of meat goes up, but this year the prices are higher than for many years past. Large demands for export are said to have caused the ad vance. ElKkty-flve-Pound NnKjret. GUTHRIE. O. T.t March 26. Great ex citement has been caused at Lawton by the unearthing by miners In the Wichita Mountains of an 83-pound nugget, 83 per cent pure gold. It was found In Devil's Canyon, the scene of one of the ancient mines of the Spaniards, where may cru cibles have been unearthed recently. TO CARRY OFF THE SAND MEASURES MUST BE DEVISED TO DEEPEN RIVER BAR, CHANNEL. Captain Cann Has an Important Cor. ference With Prcsideat'Xears Harrow or Dredge J Captain A. E. Cann, of Astoria, was in conference yesterday with S. M. Mears, president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, "and represented the Bar Pi lots Association In requesting that some plan be adopted as soon as possible for deepening the channel, over the bar. Cap tain Cann said, In the course of the con ference, that, with a long swell on the bar, under existing conditions, a ship drawing 22 feet of water could not be safely taken over and out to sea. Presi dent Mcars agreed with Captain Cann on BROWNELL. the necessity for Immediate action, and the matter will come before the next meeting of the trustees of the chamber. Later a conference will be arranged Dt tween representa lives of the pilots ami of the Chamber of Commerce, when defi nite plans and estimated cost will be con sidered. Captain Cann favors a suction dredge similar to th.e one In use on the Mersey bar, the permanent deepening of which has made possible the vast shipping in terests of Liverpool. Mr. Mcars suggested that at this time it might not be feasible to buy a dredge. "Then, why not harrow it out?" asked Pilot Cann. "That might bo done." assented Mr. Mears. s "It was done during the regime of Cap tain Flavel." replied Mr. Cann. " He had constructed a large harrow, weighing half a ton or more, and a powerful ocean tug was used to drag It in the channel. The sand stirred up in this fashion was car ried out to sea by the tide, and desirable Improvement to the channel was apparent. I should think a harrow to weigh a ton or more (Captain Flavel's was found too light) would do a great deal of good. If the dredge could not be hand at this time. It is necessary that some action be taken In time to take advantage of the Spring freshets, which will be of material aid in carrying the sand out to sea. We must deepen the bar; not to do it will work our ruin." "Our Interests are identical," replied Mr. Mears. "If we have no harbor there can be no shipping. I will be glad to take the subject up with the members of the chamber at the earliest possible moment." "If we arc obliged to wait until the jetty Is completed to have the bar deep ened. It will be too late, and we will have no shipping," declared Captain Cann. "Wc cannot do It too soon," said Mr. Mears. "The harrow plan appears an excellent one. I will notify you when a conference can be arranged, and would like to have you and others of the Pilots Association present." The dredge advocated by Captain Cann will deepen the channel to from 25 to 40 feet, according to his estimate, as ex pressed to Mr. Mears. The success of the dredge on the Mersey bar has been very marked. It has deepencd It from 11 feet to a sufficient depth to admit at all times of the year vessels drawing 26 feet. The dredge in use was evolved from designs previously accepted, and the new plans were adopted in 1S92. The dimensions of the vessel are: Length, 220 feet; beam, Ids feet, loaded draught, at which depth she was calsulated to carry 3000 tons of sand. The suction pumps, which are two In number, are placed in the forward part of the ship, and the suction pipe, which has an Internal diameter of 45 inches. Is trailed aft through a well on A Coffee Slave. v-V.. 74.?y.iJ -".. Hi .- -? c cmmmfL asSn wf V mi V nervous system. "My wife, also, has been wonderfully benefited by the use of Postum, Food Coffee, and we 'have been engaged In an active crusade in its behalf. Have found many people who had turned down Postum solely on account of not making it properly. It is easy to make if one will use four heaping teaspoons to the pint of water, and allow It to boll long enough. We always use good, rich cream, and sweeten therup to the taste. It Is a delicious beverage. "The following persons were affected very much as I was, and have recovered their health by the use of Postum Food Coffee: Dr. J. A.

At Its upper end it is fitted with a trunlon Joint at the point where It branches oft to either pump, and below that again with a uni versal joint Tho conditions of the contract required that she should fill herself with 3000 tons of sand in 45 minutes, and on the official trial she accomplished this In 43 minutes. The largest day's work done with the dredge has been 39,000 tons in 24 hours, and the maximum week's work was 183,000 tons in 5 days. So successful was the flrstdredge that within three years three others were built on similar lines, ana are In successful operation in the port of Liverpool. The conditions existing on the Mersey bar are, to a large extent, iden tical with conditions at the mouth of the Columbia. The obstruction which accumu lates Is composed largely of sand, which must be constantly removed to prevent the channel becoming choked. STOLE PANTS, AND RAN. Tvro Culprits Caujcht After a Red Hot Chase. There was an exciting chase yesterday on Third street, near pine, after Frank Kelly and J. E. Wright, wanted to an swer for-the disappearance of two pairs of pants from I. Morris'- store, 41 Third street. Morris says that the two strang ers, Kelly and Wright, cime Into his store, and that Wright said: "Gimme a pair of socks. Small size, as I've small feet." Kelly stood near the door, close to a bundle of pants, and when Wright had received and paid for his socks, the duo started to go away. Morris In the mean time had become suspicious of Kel.y's movements, and he saw that a light pair of pants was on the top of the pile Instead of the dark pair he had originally placed there. He rushed to the door, and when Kelly and Wright siw him coming, they separated. Morris ran after and caught Wright, and then, pointing to Kelly's re treating form, he yelled: "Stop, thief I" Kelly escaped by running Into an apartment-house 'where he resided, but In a few minutes he Incautiously ventured out agiln, this time carrying a bundle. Mor ris was on the lookout, and as soon as he saw Kelly, he cried: "That's the man that swiped my goods." Kelly dropped his bundle, and ran Into a Chinese lodging-house on Pine street, only to be thrown out by the Irate Chinaman whose premises he had invaded. Just then Spe cial Officer Hawley came along, and he took charge of Kelly, who had been grabbed by two citizens. Both Kelly and Wright were locked up at the police sta tion, and the stolen pants were also taken possession of by the police. Morris says that some one stole 20 pairs of pants from his store last Saturday. FOR CLEAR SIDEWALKS. New City Ordinance to Be Drawn Up by Improvement Association. " Action looking, to a solution of the side walk blockade evil was taken at the meet ing of the Lewis and Clark Civic Improve ment Association last evening.

Dresser, was present and presented the position of the grocers. The grocers 'were reported to be opposed to a drastic en forcement of the present law, as they felt that- this would Injure business. As a concession It was 'proposed to allow mer chants a space of two feet on the side walks for the display of their goods. Jf this were granted, said the members of the committee, the Retail Grocers' Association would heartily co-operate In the enforce ment of the ordinance, and would also join the Improvement Association and work for the promotion of Its objects. This view of the matter met with the approval of the -members of the Improve ment Association, and the following com mittee was appointed to draft the new or dinance: Thomas McCusker, chairman; Leo Frlede. G. M. Hyland, F. Dresset, Chris A. Bell, Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Julia A. Markham, Julius L. Meier and F. B. Gibson. A communication from City Engineer Chase was presented to the effect that If the members of his department were made special policemen they would assist in enforcing the city ordinance with regard to sidewalk obstruction.
